This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Sponsoo's market positioning as a specialized sports sponsorship marketplace leverages a niche connecting sports entities with sponsors, offering data-driven selection and fee-free mediation. The business model is based on platform facilitation rather than direct sponsorship sales. The company has media recognition and European funding support, indicating growth and credibility. Target customers include athletes, sports organizations, sponsors, and agencies. The presence of multiple regional domains and language options suggests a broad European reach. The company maintains active social media channels and investor relations, supporting its market presence and growth potential.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens in forms, indicating good baseline security practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are publicly available, limiting transparency. Tracking scripts from Google and Facebook are present without a visible cookie consent banner, which may pose GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in compliance and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with AngularJS for frontend interactivity, Google Tag Manager for marketing management, and Facebook Pixel for retargeting. The presence of CKEditor indicates content management capabilities. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses canvas elements for visual progress indicators. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable platform.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
